    I would say it would be near impossible to find the parts. I have only ever seen one "kit" for sale in the last 20 years.

    I think only two exist anymore. DAB on the forum has one. I am pretty sure they don't make them anymore.

    I wonder if you could cut the front end off a late 280Z (1983-84) and make that fit somehow, and get in the ballpark...:hmmm:

    Brent Mulvaney on the forum has the other one. He doesn't get on here much though. I've heard that he uses his as a daily driver.
